AND...to top it all off, my 7-year-old brought me the first strawberry from his garden this morning.

Let me tell you, it's not easy to grow anything when there's a two-year-old brother with a penchant for hoses on the loose. Charles has had quite a time keeping any strawberries around long enough for them to ripen, and the fact that he gave the first one to me is pret-ty special.

Here's to all the mamas out there. May your day be filled with sweet love from your babies, a bit'o'sleep (this coming from a mom with a 6month old), and all your favorite things.
